I am in high school and there is an announcement for an upcoming father-daughter dance. We are required to partner with someone at school to practice the dance routines. I ask a girl in my class if she'll be my partner, but she makes up some awkward excuse as to why she cannot. I feel rejected but I shake it off after my friend, Cameron, asks me. Cameron and I pick up the dance moves quickly and then branch out with some really awesome, technical modifications to the routine. We are dancing like pros! He starts singing along to a Frank Sinatra song. He sings as good as he dances. We're laughing and smiling, just having a jolly old time.
The corporeal image of a given process, or of becoming, or of the
passage of time. In Hindu doctrine, the dance of Shiva in his rôle as Natarâjâ (the
King of the Cosmic Dance, symbolizing the union of space and time within
evolution) clearly has this meaning (6). There is a universal belief that, in so far as
it is a rhythmic art-form, it is a symbol of the act of creation (56). This is why the
dance is one of the most ancient forms of magic. Every dance is a pantomime of
metamorphosis (and so calls for a mask to facilitate and conceal the transformation), which seeks to change the dancer into a god, a demon or some other chosen
form of existence. Its function is, in consequence, cosmogonic. The dance is the
incarnation of eternal energy: this is the meaning of the circle of flames surrounding the ‘dancing Shiva’ (60). Dances performed by people with linked arms
symbolize cosmic matrimony, or the union of heaven and earth—the chain-symbol—and in this way they facilitate the union of man and wife (51).
